DALLAS, Nov. 5.—C. B. Me- I Garity, representative of Paulding coultty, last night .stated he was in fabor of an income tax, with prop | er exemption, and the creation of ! machinery to insure the collection ■of all taxes that are levied. He made this statement before leaving ! to attend the extraordinary session J ! of the Georgia general assembly, ' which convenes in Atlanta Wed- 1 nesday. • With the adoption of an income tax, Mr. McGarity said the ad va lorem rate of taxation should be reduced from five to three mills. He said he. was opposed to free school book legislation unless he could be shown a proper source of revenue to pay for the books. “WE LL DO SOMETHING,” SAYS WOODRUFF. DECATUR, Nov. s.—(By the Associated Press.) —A prediction that the extraordinary session of the Georgia general assembly, which convenes Wednesday, will ac complish something in the way of tax reform, was made by Albert J. Woodruff, representative of De- Kalb county and a member of the special tax commission. “As a r ember of Governor Walker’s tax commission, I spent two weeks at my own expense tour- I ing the slate, talking, to all kinds t and clashes of people, and I find that they ready for something to be ■passed,” he asserted. ‘‘l am of the opinion that the lawmakers will pass s-.n income tax and if there is any possible way to raise the money I -without increasing the tax burdens I of the people, I believe they will ( pass a free schoor book bill for at least the first grades. “The state auditor question is of much importance and it seems to me that we should have some means of collecting these taxes as well as levying them. I am sure this matter will have serious con sideration. “I ’have talked with more than one hundred members of the house in the last two months, 1 and it is the opinion of almost every man that we are going to stop these howlers that continue to accuse the legislature of doing nothing. “We may not what they want us to do at this extra session, but believe me, we are going to do something,” lie said. CUT EXPENSES SAYS BOZEMAN. SYLVESTER, Nov. 5. (By the Associated Press.)—Opposition to an income tak for Georgia was ex pressed today by Representative W. O. Bozeman, of Worth county. “I am firmly convinced that our present system of taxation shqukl not he destroyed,” he said, “I suggest a curtailment of ex- ✓ Tragedy Behind Smile —« K EShF X «!■ penses in the various departments of state government. I maintain that we shoud provide for better roads an,d a thoroughly equipped agricultural department, but I am co vinced there is extravagance and too muc hoverhead expense ia both these departments. “Too little money is going to our common schools and colleges. In my opinion, if after the reduction of the expenses of the various de partments, the state needs addi tional revenue, there should be im posed a uniform sales tax, not to exceed one-hhlf of one per cent. “An income tax would only ope rate to discourage thrift, stifle in dustry and cost practicaly as much to collect as the revenue would to tal.” Commenting on proposed legis lation to provide additional tax collection machinery for the state, Mr. Bozeman said “no doubt such a measure is needed.” He express ed doubt of the bill passing if it created a nqw department. “Until I am thoroughly concineed otherwise,” he said, “must state that free text books for children in common schools is very un necessary and impractical.” GUESS FOR FREE TEXT BOOKS.

Whether or not the legislature will consider or enact the report of the committee, I cannot say. I am afraid, however, should there be many tax bills introduced by Indi vidual members in connection with the tax commission report, little will be accomplished except a wrangle among- authors of the measures. “The foundation of all tax laws is the machinery to collect the tax. The state loses a great amount of money if machinery is not provided for the collection of taxes. rpi his was demonstrated by the recent passage of the three cent gasoline I tax, by reason 1 of the fact, the ; comptroller general is 1 without the necessary machinery to collect this I fax, thereby resulting in a large i loss of revenue to the state. This | is a mutter which cannot be rem i edied by General Wright, or his | department, but a matter purely up j to the general assembly. ; “A great many people disagree i politically with the opinions of the late lamented United States Senator Thomas-E. Watson, but there is no doubt in my mind that he cham pioned one of the greatest needs of ( the state when he advocated free I text books for children in our com : mon schools. I am satisfied the i general assembly in extra session I will take into consideration this . needed legislation,” he said. -OHIO POLICE RELEASE GEORGIAN FROM PRISON CINCINNATI, 0., Nov. s.—City police here yesterday said they had been responsible in a case of mis taken identity when they released i Robert Lee Minter, 37, of Monti cello, Ga., and charged William Banks, 22, negro, of 562 Carlisle avenue, with assault to rob.
